Clear Adhesive/Glue

Can anyone recommend a glue to stick acrylic to acrylic that dries clear please and won't yellow if being used externally? It's to stick a small piece of clear acrylic to the side of the acrylic headlamp on my van to satisfy the MOT requirement for a side indicator.

Bostik Tensol 12 Or 70

12 is single part, 70 is two part, it what they use on fish tanks

Yup, but not used a lot these days. One sniff and your done. We had some for plastic glue at work and one smart lad thought he'd give it a 'bash' because he 'knew' about drugs. I watched him hit the deck 1second after smallest whiff. Had to send him home for the day.

Clear glue for acrylic is readily available. Google is your friend.

Thanks. I'll have a look. Glue gun gun in my experience goes quite brittle and yellows easily.
